Thought this is funny. The RedHat webmaster must be busy. After Oracle announced the RedHat linux support, now Microsoft joined the party – it announced the partnership with RedHat’s rival, Novell’s SUSE linux. So this is what I saw from RedHat’s web page:

“First they ignore you. Then they laugh at you. Then they fight you. Then you win.”

 — Mohandas Gandhi

For those not from IT industry, “they” refers to Microsoft. Microsoft did all these “ignore” and “laugh” thing. Now “they” are at “fight” stage.

  • UAW strike 汽车工人工会罢工
    September 26, 2023

    <span class="rt-reading-time" style="display: block;"><span class="rt-label rt-prefix">Reading Time: </span> <span class="rt-time">< 1</span> <span class="rt-label rt-postfix">minute</span></span> 今天09/26/23 礼拜二美国总统拜登成为第一个在任总统正式加入美国汽车工人工会(UAW)的举牌子走路活动。但是凭我在美二十多年的观察，美国工会包括UAW的力量比克林顿当总统时应该是变弱了。美国的工会在历史上对劳苦大众的工资待遇是有帮助的。记得大概20年前，村里grocery store 的packers and cashiers 也举牌子走路。我也支持她们，not crossing picket line. 就去中国店或是Aldi 买菜。 圣路易斯二十多年前有三个汽车总装厂，美国三大汽车厂各有一个，有位于机场附近Hazelwood 的福特工厂，也有位于西南郊44号公路旁边克莱斯勒Rams 卡车的总装厂，记得当年村里的橄榄球队也是Rams (公羊队），并拿了2000年赛季超级杯的冠军。这两个厂前后都关了。只留下一个在很西郊Wentzville 通用汽车的一个厂，这个厂不算是通用最重要的工厂，这次工会一开始也不想把事情弄大，挑了这个厂作为举牌子走路的地方。前几天看电视说附近的餐馆生意受影响了，好像UAW发给工人一个星期500块美元。我估计技术工人一般本来一个礼拜靠近一千块是有的。#UAW 我刚来美国的时候，留学生里面有个说法，东方不败，指的是丰田佳美，花冠，本田雅阁，思域。Toyota Camry, Corolla, Honda Accord and Civic. 很多年过去了，韩国车有很大进步，但是在不少人眼里，包括美国本地出生的人，和新移民，这两个牌子还是质量和可靠性的保证。比如这个油管视频-People Say I’m Full of Crap About Hondas, Well Watch This。著名油管主Scotty Kilmer 就讲到日本车每年就提高一点点。其实苹果不也是这样吗？革命性的创新是很难的。中国以前有愚公移山和只要功夫深，铁杵磨成针 （perseverance will prevail）的故事。我感觉到日本汽车公司，尤其是丰田本田的这个努力提高的精神。 我不知道把这个类比用在这里好不好，合不合适。总感觉工会在现在这个行情下，没有什么胜算。马斯克童鞋也已经开始挖苦了。他说：这样下去，三大汽车公司会倒闭的。
